Saudi Prince: US Must Submit to Oil Addiction

The U.S. has no alternative to oil for its massive energy needs and should submit to this dependence, Saudi Arabia's Prince Turki al-Faisal wrote in an Italian newspaper on Friday. "...the destinies of the United States and Saudi Arabia are linked and will remain (linked) for decades," he said.

As Gal Luft notes, "greens" want to get off oil for environmental reasons. And though these reasons may not appeal to national security hawks, hawks must find ways to cooperate with others to ultimately acheive the objective of dumping Saudi fossil fuels.
